One of the reasons I bought this bike was the absence of the usual Horror stories in forums and review sites concerning Chinese bikes. I only ever found one case of a chap that sent the bike back to the dealer because a total oil loss caused by a loose engine mount???, wrecked his piston, cylinder and camshaft.
I have had a couple of loose spokes, and have had to retighten some engine support bolts, and a few light spots of rust in things like the brackets that are attached to the petrol tank for anchoring the seat, side "wings", etc. Otherwise I'm happy with the quality so far, it runs well and handles like Maradona...
Hi Forchetto! Thank you very much for your comments. I also think this is a great little ride and that one only needs to check it up more often... until the time comes when it proves its mettle. Hey! even girl friends deserve that treatment... not to mention wife stories. Well, up to the point: I really doubt that a loose engine mount could`ve caused a total oil loss... that guy could also have trouble with his shoe laces... please get an eye on him, for God`s sake. I also donīt want it to handle or behave like Maradona in his latest form... some really weird things could happen! Enjoy your ride Bro! It feels really good to share some thoughts with people like you. Can I ask you something? Have you had a problem with restarting it after a wash? (a really careful initial wash) Mine let its spark plug cover to allow water to get in. It was easy to remedy (just unplugged it and dried it), but I now feel scared of riding it in our typical wet season tropical monsoons. Hope we`ll be in touch.
